...Honey I'm home...

"Lamb To Slaughter" by Roald Dahl -the story, "lamb To Slaughter" is most definetly a suspence you never know whats going to happen..."will Mrs. Malonly ever get cought?", "what are the police going to do?". The suspense when it was introduced, appeared in the part when Mr. Malonly finally started to talk,to his wife. You wondered what was he talking about, and how was Mrs. Malonly going to take it. and when it was resolved Mr. Malonly was dead. Roald Dahl used a red herring in this story, he gave hints to what may or may not happen later in the story, it was pure poetic justice.the story "Lamb To Slaughter" is a great story and everyone should read it.

Assignment #3 :)

APPEALS

2. We have been reading Anne Sexton's poem, "Courage" and Rudyard Kipling's poem "If".

The poem that appeals most to me is both of them Anne Sexton's poem, "Courage" and Rudyard Kipling's poem "If...".

Anne Sexton's poem was mesmerizing with how she described Pain, Love, and showed how in a special way they make courage. But in Kipling's poem he's saying what courage should be, in his poem he's sending more of a message to the reader like, "you can face any challenge, if your willing to fight", Anne Sexton's describing what it feels like. Together they create different points of view from a life choice to how it could happen. Thats why i could never truely choose between them because they both appeal to me in different ways which are important.

Assignment #2 :o

WHY "IF...."

"If" by Rudyard Kipling which we studied in class.

Do I agree with Kipling's message?....yes because he is telling everyone that they can be a better person,and its true because no matter who you are you can face any challenge that comes your way, it's just if your willing to fight the challenge.the statement that is meaningful to me is:

"If you can make one heap of all your winnings and risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,....." Why?..... because it says to me that you should take risk, do what you believe in,take a chance.or even make a change. Is Kiplings advice useful still?...... I believe it is, because if we did do the things different then in this poem, we would have way more depressed people in the world,and everyone would probably be more angery.
